Benefits
- Corporate
Benefits: From $2,000 to $10,000. The National
Adoption Center at (800) TO-ADOPT provides information on
employer benefits.
Note:
If your company doesn't offer benefits to prospective adoptive
parents, find other interested employees, gather information
on companies who provide these benefits, and present the
case to your employer.
- EAP
(Employee Assistance Program)
may provide emotional and other supports.
- Paid
leave, in addition to vacation time, sick leave,
and personal days.
- Military
benefits: Subsidies reimburse active-duty personnel
for one-time adoption costs up to $3,000.
- Thanks
to the generosity of one of our adoptive families, eight
to ten applicants are given grants to cover the Agency Fee.
A $6,000 grant is available to qualified LNI applicants
who earn around $35,000, are under 42 years old and have
no more than two children. The "Subsidy Form"
is available to prospective adoptive parents once they
have already applied to the agency.
- Supplemental
Social Security is available if you choose to adopt
a child with a correctable handicap or chronic illness.
